"Amazing stay, beautiful views"

On arrival we was shown to our room by a very helpful member of staff who informed us of the breakfast times for the duration of our stay. The room was a big family room with an ensuit bathroom and a beautiful view of the countryside. The room had the facilities to be able to make hot drinks. You could not hear any noise from the pub below which was great as we had a young child with us. The staff was amazing and the stay was perfect. Read less
